    Egg for young

    The food was top notch! Best cream cheese puffs ... ever! The egg foo young was so yummy and tasty, along with the Thai fried rice! Couldn't eat it all so took the rest home So happy to have this in our neighborhood!!

    Egg Soda

    Not only was the food amazing, our waitress Dasia ( or Deja as in de ja vu, as she said ) was so patient and helpful when explaining the menu to us! She really made our experience trying Laotian food for the first time absolutely wonderful!! With the road work going on, it was a bit of a struggle to get to the restaurant and SO WORTH IT. The sticky rice was WONDERFUL and an experience on its own; the egg soda was so different and delicious I would recommend it to anyone. My sons were both blown away by the flavor in the Mango Boba and the Sesame Chicken. I will come back again next time I visit Saint Paul. Five stars 100%.

    Kong's Kitchen is an Eastside gem in Saint Paul! The pho is amazing! By far the best I have had in the twin cities! The only condiment I added to it was their house made chili oil which is amazing! The fried rice is delicious and such a classic! Mama's stuffed chicken wings were amazing as well and let's not forget the vegetable egg rolls! They were perfection in every bite! Sweet n sour chicken was crispy and made with quality white chicken breast chunks! The food here is made with love! The Thai tea was good as well!

    Really good chicken fried rice and oyster wings. Priced about right. Easy on street parking.

    Thai Fried Rice with chicken

    Stoped here for a quick bite before an event. Was craving Thai food and couldn't have chosen a better spot. In the Pad See Ew the broccoli was the right amount of crunch but soft. And they were not shy with their portion sizes(especially for a great price). Tofu in the dish was perfection. let my Partner try some tofu for the first time, perfect first impression spot for tofu. The fried rice was delicious, can't go wrong with that dish. The Wait staff was incredibly kind and loved striking a conversation. Very calm and mellow inside with pretty decorations. Would definitely like to note, going on a hot day their ice water was beyond appreciated!

The restaurant is clean and bright, and the service is prompt and attentive. We also ordered food from them to cater a party and it was incredible. The owner helped us figure out quantities and she was spot on! We thought it was too much, but we only had a little bit of leftovers. So, no guests felt like they missed out on food, but it wasn't too much to fit in our fridge at the end. Perfect! As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Cambodian food is different than Thai or Vietnamese. I kind of thought they were all sort of the same (somewhat embarrassing...), but there are definitely different flavors going on here. It can be hard to spot this gem hidden on University Ave. in St. Paul, but it is definitely worth the trip!

    This was my first time trying Cambodian food - everything here was so good and affordable!…read more Spring rolls were only $4.95 and really good - they had chicken, shrimp, and a variety of herbs inside. Chive cakes had a nice chewy texture inside and crispy outside from being fried. The noodle soup bowls here are a great portion size... they range from regular-L-XL. Regular was a good size for my friend and I, especially when combined with our apps. The roasted chicken was tender and had really good flavor and color. Both noodle soup broths are on the sweeter side. Overall would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to try Cambodian food for the price, quality, and portion size.

    My personal favorite pho on University, where there are dozens of choices available. Broth is clear…read moreand clean tasting with plenty of warm spices. Proteins all served at correct doneness in the Pho Dac Biet so you get the tougher cuts well done and rendered and the thin steak raw so it cooks in the broth. Great side accompaniments, Thai basil still on the stalk and living, fresh bean sprouts, Sri Racha and chiles in oil depending on your tastes, squirt bottle of hoisin. The only tiny nitpick I have is I wish they had bigger spoons available for those of us who like to mix sauces and soup in the spoon instead of muddying up the bowl. Also Vietnamese coffee is prepared old fashioned, not in a boba cup where you can't tell if it was made just now or weeks ago. Great service. This is a tiny little joint which is exactly what you expect from a world class Pho place.

We were able to find free street parking nearby, because of parking lot renovations. As soon as we sat down, our waitress made sure we had everything we needed, including chili oil and sriracha for us. She checked in on us throughout our meal without being overbearing and made us feel very welcome. Since it was our first visit, we appreciated that we never felt rushed to order and had plenty of time to look over the menu. The pho was really solid. I loved the clear, deep flavorful broth, and the Vietnamese coffee was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Unfortunately, they were out of bánh mì during our visit, but honestly that just gives me another reason to come back. Between the good food and excellent service, I can definitely see why locals love this place. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a great food and a welcoming dining experience.

The volume in the restaurant is quite loud, so the patio may be better if you don't want to speak up at the table. Service is on the slower side but the food is worth the wait. -- The Sakoo small plate was an incredible dish! The texture contrast between the filling, chewy exterior, and lettuce shell was fantastic. It was so flavorful and has a bit of a spice kick to it. -- The Mango Fish entree was packed with flavor, and is a very umami-forward dish. The piece of crispy salmon skin on the side is perfectly crunchy and salty. It's a filet of salmon (not a whole fish) and the salmon is nice and buttery. -- The Duck Fried Rice entree had good flavor but the duck meat was dry. It did not come with the duck leg or crispy skin, and instead had chunks of duck meat throughout the dish. This dish has a bit of a spice kick to it. -- The Pistachio Orange Blossom Cake dessert was SO GOOD. I'm not a huge dessert person and I ate every bite of this. The cake is so moist and pairs well with the fluffy mousse covering the cake. The little bits of baklava and orange zest complemented this dish really well.

I will be thinking of how good that dish is for the rest of my life; the coconut milk and lime combined with the texture of fresh seafood really hit the spot! The Thai basil wings and Massaman curry were very yummy also. I enjoyed my meal so thoroughly that I forgot to take many pictures. The presentation on my cocktail (a tonic with vodka and buddha hand fruit) was very pretty. Service was thoughtful and quick. The restaurant itself was beautiful and open and airy -- I almost felt like I wasn't in Minneapolis anymore. We went on a Tuesday, and only drawback I'd say is that the noise level can be a little bit loud due to the acoustics and how the room is one giant space. Otherwise, very happy with the restaurant and would go again.
